Lazytown in real life

Re: Lazytown in real life

I have a friend who loves it, and a couple of friends who are interested but not really as much as me. But... well... it's really inspired me to eat more healthily, of course. You know the sound effect that junk food gets when it appears on Lazytown? It sounds so gross that I think of it every time I see fast food so I don't eat it any more at all. When I watch it I always feel like eating fruit as well. It's great!

But really I think Lazytown has inspired me more mentally than physically... it's kind of hard to explain and I'm tired right now. But it's given me dreams and made me want to hang on to them. For that I owe it a great deal.

Oh yeah. The fact I can do pushups is thanks to Magnus. I used to do a lot of long distance running and hockey, but over my last 2 years of high school I got seriously ill, but no one would believe me. I had to stop running and hockey, as I just couldn't do it anymore. As soon as I went outside, or walked into a big white room, I instantly felt all faint and dizzy and wanted to collapse. At school I was finding I had to have a mint, or some other form of sugar every 10 minutes just to concentrate. I had a sore throat constantly for more than 2 years. I suffered a lot from headaches, and had loads of days off. And my parents keep telling me it was nonsense. I volunteered to run the 800m for my form (like a tutorial group I suspect for some of you Americans) on sports day, since over the years I was the only one who would volunteer, and probably nearly ended up nearly killing me, as I just couldn't breathe, and my throat got even more painful as I tried to breathe, making me want to stop breathing. And yet no one helped me. I think I still came 3rd anyway... When I started college, my sore throat disappeared. And I was just in shock. For the first time in what felt like forever, I could feel what is was like to not have a sore throat. So over the last couple of years, my only exercise has been sprinting for the bus, dancing to LazyTown songs and doing pushups (and playing my viola because it's damn heavy).

And I still haven't worked out why I suddenly became ill, or what it was I had. Towards the end of the second year of these period, I eventually convinced my parents to let me see a Doctor (apparently seeing the Doctor means I won't get a job) and he said he wasn't sure what was going on, and just gave me antibiotics for my throat. They didn't work. It still hurt. So I never went back to him. He was a little useless I think.

P.S. Stingy, I would agree most of the time.

Mmmmm on the whole my friends don't like it. None of em. I have convined most of them into liking some of LazyTown's music though. Not much, just one or two songs. My friend Peter rejects the entire idea.

My sister sort of likes it though.

Other than that, before LazyTown i used to be fat(ter).
I don't drink soda anymore. Well I do, but without exaggeration, my yearly soda intake is close to 1/55 of what it used to be.
I don't eat fast food anywhere near as often, as well I am more concious about my calorie intake. I don't count them, but I do look and if something is grossly unhealthy, I won't eat it.

I can do more pushups/situps/pullups/all that jazz too, but that's hard to measure because it could be relative to weight lost and not to muscle gained.

P.S. Vic, your parents suck.

Re: Lazytown in real life

I drink more water than I used to, and I try to eat an apple today. But I still hate all other fruit. I love vegetables though, but I did anyway.

I lost some friends. Well... some of them talk to me, but they don't like the fact I'm in contact with the "paedos" that make the show. Well they don't like me liking it anyway. Makes me realise that some of them are probably not my friends if they think I should like what they like and nothing else.

I made new internet friends, many of them being you.

My parents... well mother really, hates the show, but they hate anything from other countries (mainly America). She has a go at me saying I shouldn't be on here as much as I am the the forums, and modding some of them because I don't get paid, and I should grow up, and she can't understand how I can be so adult in other aspects of my life but like something so childish. Yeah, like saving the world from obesity is childish. You know I'm a scientist... it's not like I care about the stuff threatening the human race like global warming or obesity. You know mother, you're right it's childish caring about the fact my kids are going to die before me, or if we survive we're going to destroy their planet.

They don't care I've been given opportunities. They just automatically hate anything I do which is different to their life plan for me.

I have a boyfriend called Robbie and he doesn't care that I like it. In fact he's helped out with some stuff.

Before I started watching this show with my youngest sister, I didn't really do anything with her. You know, I was a teenager, and without talking to me, my parents suddenly decided to hate a baby. I'm not your usual girl. I hate pink and girly stuff. I did not want a baby in the family who would distract me from my exams. And yet I ended up taking her to LazyTown Live.

Re: Lazytown in real life

Well...I ate more sportscandy and started flexibility exercises. I'm gonna dance!

So...yeah, exactly what Maggi intended.

[Deep4t]

so im just wondering. Like, how does Lazytown effect you in real life. Do people know you like the show? do people people make fun of you for it.

I think all my close friends know i really like they show, and some of them call me a paedo but i dont really care that much.
